View Comments

• MoA and Sky Castle don't air in same time slot so they are probably the same viewers. Both dramas have impressive ratings.
  Anyway solid first episode even though PSH didn't have much screentime. I can't wait to see how the AR mystery unveils because I still have no clue what the story is meant to be about.

• Congratulations binnie hope tomorrow this drama can break 10% rating. If not it's will be wasted since budget was 25 billion won. And those all secret garden shipper can kill herself or jump to the sea.

  • Weren't you shitting on Hyun Bin in previous articles and calling him flop ahjusshi? This drama has lower budget than Mr. Sunshine, Goblin or Dots though. And Suzy - Lee Seung Gi new drama is going to be the most expensive drama for now.

    • Honey look at the rating ep.2 now stuck in 7% rating.

    • MOA budget was 25b won, dots and goblin budget was 10b won and 14.4b won.

• Tbh honest not sure about the story doesn't seem like what I would like but let see I guess and am happy for the ratings go psh

• I like ep 1. The cobbled streets remind me of the backstreets in Rome and Venice where I grew up.... I play games so I can understand the story.. but AR is not for everyone, certainly not the ajhummas. This is a very challenging genre, new and refreshing. I don't think Bonita Hotel can operate with just Korean instructions posted in room/toilet/kitchen, why no Spanish? ... I won't argue with the script yet... Hope the suspense will keep up and I totally enjoy the cinematography and HB's dimples :-)

  • I can't agree with you more. This is going to be virtual reality merging into reality. So refreshing. Couldn't understand what the big deal about HB before but now totally understood. He hasn't changed much from secret garden but I am now very susceptible to his dimples.

• MoA is so cool and so fun to watch, it has action, funny moments, and i love the otp already, the princess and the wolf LoL, love the ending scene and the ost, cant wait for episode 2, congratz for the rating and for good comments from korean netz

• The concept looks new even though I feel this drama is a mix of W and Pokemon Go. Halfway through the drama I had this dreaded feeling am I just going to continuously watch Hyun Bin go back and forth playing a game? He is a rich entrepreneur and he doesn’t have staff to test a game for him??? For both PSH and HB, I am seeing previous roles in both their characters. However, it is only the first episode. I will give them some time. I am more intrigued by the actor who was in Prison Playbook. I couldn’t recognise him initially.

  • It's park hae soo! I'm surprised tht there is no news of his cameo or sth. It has been one yr since prison playbook premiered

    • Yes, yes, Park Hae Soo. Apologies for not remembering his name. He is good and I expect him to have an important and impactful role here.

    • Yeah I was surprised its his first drama project in almost a year.
      I hope his role is more than a cameo.

• I liked the first episode. The story is pretty innovative for a drama, it's nice to see something different. Hyun Bin was fun to watch and Park Shin Hye didn't have many scenes, so I will wait to get an idea of her character.

  Special effects look good :)

• it's really fun.

• maybe i was sleppy when i started watching this drama i found it boring. so gonna watch it again later

  • *sleepy

    • I'm watching it this drama,also surprised that they didn't introduce character first before start battle hyun bin with virtual game. Also I fell like play Pokémon go and disappointed that park shin hye part was small because I'm watching drama for park shin hye.

  • I'm bored too.
    After two eps nothing much seems to be happening.
    I think I simply just don't enjoy the genre. But PSH and HB are my fave, so hoping they have more scenes together so I can watch them.

• That’s an absolutely insane jump in ratings for SKY Castle. It’s very interesting so far so I’m not too surprised. There are suddenly more engaging dramas to watch and I’m just hoping and praying they stay that way at least most of their run. I’m just tired of being burned by dramas that start out well and fizzle out fairly quickly.
